Suda describes Lollipop Chainsaw as a zombie game with a twist; instead of carving up the undead as a hardened protagonist, the main role goes to a skimpily-dressed cheerleader Juliet Starling.

The legendary developer behind the recent Shadows of the Damned expressed his desire to change the zombie genre forever with Chainsaw. Whereas recent Grasshoper games have been gruesome affairs, this latest game will focus on a more cutesy approach. Blood sprays will be replaced with pink rays of light (naturally) to give the game a pop feel.

Regular Grasshopper collaborator Akira Yamaoka has been confirmed to be working on the soundtrack, and Suda says the game is "around 70 percent complete". It has already found publishers for the US and EU, though they're yet to be revealed.

Lollipop Chainsaw is coming to both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. For more details from Suda himself check out 1up's extensive story.
